- 50 - The national court’s doubts arise from the fact that, on the one hand, pursuant to recital 27 and Article 2(1)(a) of Directive 2014/65/EU (recital 10 and Article 2(1)(a) of Directive 2004/39/EC), the provisions of these directives do not apply to insurance undertakings.
- However, on the other hand, pursuant to recital 87 of Directive 2014/65/EU, equal protection must be ensured for consumers with respect to investments in the form of insurance contracts.
- Moreover, recital 10 of Directive 2005/29/EC indicates that particularly high protection standards must be ensured for consumers in the market for high-risk financial products, in respect of which creating false impressions is prohibited.
- This is further reinforced by the reference made in Article 7(5) of that directive and Annex 2 thereto to Article 19 of Directive 2004/39/EC.
- 51 - The referring court has found no indications as to the correct interpretation of the aforementioned provisions of these directives in the existing case-law of the Court.
- The only two judgments identified by the referring court which concerned a similar issue (unit-linked insurance) do not answer the questions referred for a preliminary ruling (judgments of 1 March 2012, González Alonso, C-166/11, ECLI:EU:C:2012:119, and of 29 April 2015, Nationale-Nederlanden Levensverzekering Mij, C-51/13, ECLI:EU:C:2015:286).
